[mou] 180th and Lake Byllesby

[Derek Bakken]

Hello,

I made a quick swing down to the 180th street marsh and the west end  
Byllesby Wednesday afternoon.

Birds of note were a pair of male American Wigeon at 180th and a pair  
of Greater White Fronted Geese and a lone Snow Goose at Byllesby.   
Also found a Pied-billed Grebe in the pond near the church between  
280th and 292nd along highway 56.
